Resent News: Gameplay, loot rarity and more info on Borderlands 4 being revealed in early 2025.
4 New Vault Hunters (Confirmed)
Story is more serious than BL3 (Confirmed)
Made on Unreal Engine 5 (Confirmed)
Crossplay: xbox, pc, playstation (Confirmed) maybe switch2 eventually...
Borderlands 4 will release on Current Gen consoles PS5, xbox seriesX/S and PC Specs are unknown. (Confirmed)
Spitscreen/Online split screen (Confirmed)
4 Player co-op online (Confirmed)
Characters more customisable than BL3 base game release. (Confirmed)
Teleport to any fast travel you have unlocked from anywhere. (Confirmed) I think this was in BL3 NvM.
Story Rumor/Speculation
Lilith smashes elpis into a prison world kairos accidentally, where the time keeper rules over, kairos is holding the time keeper emprisoned and weak (void of eridium) until elpis appears. Now we must find Lilith and stop the timekeeper from escaping and ruling the galaxy.
(The watcher: "War is Coming, and you will need all the vault hunters you can get")
P.s/FYI the Devs said the time keeper is like the emperor in starwars.
Classes Rumor/Speculation
1. Assassin/Gunzerker 2. Siren power 3. Melee/Smasher 4. Maliwan Soldier
Reason Left to right:
Guy has exoskeleton on to hold more weight/move better like 2x guns with 2 swords melee override skill like Salvador, come to think of it, it may be an entirely new skill tree. 2x guns and movement build.
Siren build (Unknown) Speculation ATMoment online is beast master/mind control.
Big guy has big digistructed axes, aka Melee/melee weapon, Brick/Tank, Titan/Slam build.
Woman has similar clothing to maliwan pants, gloves and tech & maliwan colors orange, blue and white, so probably maliwan soldier build with maliwan mech robot/mech sphere/mech suit.
News Confirmed
"Bigger skill trees larger than ever" (Confirmed by dev)
"Grapple/Grapple jump/Gliding" (Confirmed by Randy)
"Activate personal vehicle whenever" (Confirmed by devs)
"Seamless Openworld", Not openworld like Skyrim, but bigger than in BL3. (Confirmed by Randy)
"Borderlands 4 development started before borderlands 3 shipped/release date." (Confirmed by Randy)
"Borderlands 4 is made/created/customised by us, not AI generated/world generated like some games." (Confirmed by Randy)
Beautiful colourful landscapes and areas: mountains, deserts and grassy fields.
Laser guns making a return from The Pre-sequel. (confirmed) Laser gun in trailer...
New enemies and beasts. (Confirmed) in trailer...
Elpis moon is a playable area. (Confirmed) in trailer 1:49-1:50
Maya is brought back from the dead. (Rumor)
More Vaults to find. (Rumor)
Reason: I believe we had 1 spare/extra vault key from the end of BL3 that we didn't use. But if I'm wrong, there was more vaults showing up at the end of borderlands 2, than we opened in borderland 3, plus you can see a vault behind the new Villain in BL4 trailer.
Different Bandit factions (Rumor) plus in trailer bandits have different colour masks, orange/yellow/purple. & blue or grey, can't make it out...
New Vault Key (Rumor)
Reason: a new vault key leading to better vaults/vault contents may exist on kairos or another planet as at the end of the trailer behind the timekeeper is a vault made out of metal/eridian tech, not stone like all the other vaults we have opened.
Boss Invincible's coming back. (Speculation)
Effervescent anointment added. (Speculation)
Reason: some Legendary's sparkle rainbow colours aura around them.
Pearlecents making a return. (Rumor/Speculation/Confirmed?)
The following conversation was on social media:
Killer-six: "Can you talk about loot rarities above legendary in BL4."
Gearbox: "Loot drops will be shared by Gearbox at a later date..."
Reason: couldn't be added in BL3 because of memory issue on ps4, but can with ps5.
So was do you think? will u be getting Borderlands 4?
